Time to read 1 min
- Fat Quarter fabric pieces - whichever colour or pattern you like!
- 4mm elastic
- Collall Textile Glue
- Sewing machine (this project can also be done by hand)
- Basic Sewing kit:
- Needle
- Thread
- Scissors or rotary cutter
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Pins or fabric clips
- Safety pin
- Cut one rectangle of fabric to measure 3” x 19”. Cut 2 pieces of fabric into matching bow shapes as in the image. Fold the rectangular piece in half lengthways.
- Starting and stopping 1.5" from the short ends stitch along the raw edge of the folded rectangular piece using a 1/4” seam allowance.
- Feed one short end through the length of the rectangle until both the short ends meet up.
- Stitch across the short ends
- Using the gap in the sides pull the Scrunchie through to the right side
- Your Scrunchie is now a circle with a gap in the seam. Iron carefully
- Take approximately 8.5 inches of elastic and using a large safety pin feed in through the gap in the seam. Join the ends of the elastic by stitching them together using a small zig-zag stitch
- Use a small amount of textile glue to close the gap in the seam and set aside to dry
- Place the two bow pieces right sides together and stitch all the way round leaving a 2- 3 inch gap in one side. Trim the points and the curves to reduce bulk
- Turn through to the right side and press. Use textile glue to close the gap in the seam
- Tie the bow round the scrunchie covering the glued seam in the process
